Ladies that have had abortions before or contemplated having one, do you regret your decision you made (whether you went through with it or not ) and why ?

I went to planned parenthood. So there wasn't much of a "procedure " you went in and they preformed an ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy, and then explained to you what was going to happen the following week during your abortion (why they made you wait in between weeks im not sure? Maybe to give the person a chance to think it over? )

The next week I went in and the dr gave me 2 pills to take in their office. And then 2 more to take when I got home. These essentially forced a miscarriage. I became extremely nauseous and got some of the worst cramps id ever felt. After throwing up several times, I began bleeding heavily. I didn't drop anything that resembled anything human. It was all just some blood clots around the same size.

Horrible cramping but with a heating pad and the hydricodone they gave me, it wasn't much worse than my worst monthly visit (pain wise). Post procedure i leveled out about a month later after getting on birth control. Its been 15 years since and I have no children yet. My husband and I are waiting until we know we can provide everything for a child.
